Châlons-en-Champagne, the discreet capital of the Champagne vineyards

Welcome to Châlons-en-Champagne, an elegant city on the banks of the Marne, known for its romantic canals, religious buildings and peaceful atmosphere. With its exceptional heritage and privileged access to the Champagne vineyards, Châlons is an ideal stopover for an immersion in the lands of Champagne.

A remarkable architectural heritage
Châlons-en-Champagne has an impressive religious complex, including the Notre-Dame-en-Vaux collegiate church, listed by UNESCO for its sublime stained glass windows and its world-famous carillon. During your stay, take the time to visit the Saint-Étienne cathedral, a Gothic masterpiece where the light plays with the colors of the ancient stained glass windows.

A city between water and greenery
Nicknamed the “Venice of Champagne”, Châlons is crossed by several canals that offer boat cruises on the Marne. We recommend an electric boat ride on the Mau, a unique experience that allows you to discover the city from a peaceful and picturesque angle.

Gastronomy enhanced by Champagne
Châlons, like the entire region, is a paradise for lovers of bubbles. Here you can taste champagnes from independent winemakers, accompanied by refined dishes such as pâté champenois or pink biscuits from Reims. Our favorite: Pair your glass of champagne with a Langres cheese, a surprising and delicious pairing.
